Painting by Kim Lordier
As an artist, during this gift of time, I've realized that painting, for me, is sustenance. I've learned a tremendous amount about the character of the human spirit. I've learned that it is more important to listen than to speak without consideration. Through the ups and downs of this period in time I know that I am grateful for the opportunity to stand before my easel, work hard, and learn more. |
